My life was a fulfilling one, raising our 3 children and embarking
on a teaching career when they were older, teaching at Holy Angels
Elementary School and
at St. Joseph's High School. Being elected
as a trustee for the Elgin County Roman Catholic Separate School
Board and being the only woman on the Board was quite an experience.
Three years ago, I moved to Windsor, a sudden move with little
time for goodbyes. So it was quite a treat to return to Saint Thomas
to celebrate my 90th birthday with all my old Friends in February.
Thanks to the "pot luck" group who kept in touch and a special
thanks to my close friend, Norma
ROCHE, who sent me weekly notes
keeping me up on the news in Saint Thomas. Mom was very active
in the community over the years with a long standing involvement
in the Cancer Society, (serving two terms as president of the
Elgin County Unit), the Saint Thomas Golf and Country Club both
as a golfer (serving a term as President of the Ladies Division)
and as a Bridge Club member. She was a committed volunteer for
the Rotary Music Festival for decades, and served a term as President
of the local chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. One
of Mom's favourite activities was the bike ride for cancer, which
she did into her 80's. For her commitment to the community, she
received the "Saint Thomas Citizen of the year award" with Dad,
an unexpected but well deserved honour. She was an amazing mother
and we will miss her terribly. Thanks to those care workers at
Sunrise Assisted Living who went beyond the call of duty and
a special thanks to the staff at Extendicare Tecumseh and Dr.
Ian McLEOD, who took such terrific care of mom and allowed her
to keep her dignity as her health failed over the past 9 months.
The family will receive their Friends at the R.E. Allen Funeral
Chapel, 31 Elgin Street, Saint Thomas, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to
9 p.m. Friday afternoon and evening. Funeral service will be
held at Holy Angels Church, 502 Talbot Street, Saint Thomas, Saturday
morning at 10 a.m. After cremation, interment will be made in
St. Peter's Cemetery, London. Donations to the Canadian Cancer
Society or the Ontario Heart Foundation would be appreciated
by the family.

Man, 21, killed racing train
By Kelly PEDRO, Free Press Reporter, Sun., November 20, 2005
A 21-year-old man is dead after he was struck by a Canadian National
freight train in Ingersoll Friday.
Brian MacLEOD, of the Beachville area, and a friend were trying
to run north across a railway line to beat a passing train at
Thames Street about 6: 20 p.m.
The 20-year-old friend made it across the tracks, but MacLeod
was struck by the westbound freight train and killed, Oxford
Ontario Provincial Police said.
The two Friends were heading to a fast food restaurant at the
time, said Const. Dennis
HARWOOD.
MacLEOD's friend wasn't hurt, he said.
The crossing gates, lights and bells were activated at the time.
"It's very tragic," said Canadian National spokesperson Ian Thomson.
It's not the first time someone has died at that crossing.
In 2002, an elderly woman was killed when her car became trapped
at the crossing and collided with a freight train.
The woman, 78, had stopped for an eastbound train at the crossing.
As the rail barrier arms rose, she started to cross the tracks
but was trapped when the arms came down again to warn motorists
of a train coming in the opposite direction.
Some residents at the time suggested an overpass be built.
In 1999, three young people from Woodstock were killed on their
way to visit grandparents for Christmas when their car collided
with a westbound Via train at a level crossing on McKeand Street,
a few blocks from where Friday's crash occurred.

Professor McLEOD graduated with his
LLB from the University of
Western Ontario in 1971 and
an LLM from the University of London,
England in 1972. He was called to the Bar in 1974 and taught
a variety of courses at the U.W.O.'s Law School and the Ivey
School of Business. He presently holds the position of associate
dean (administration). Jay's lectures were legendary amongst
students, lawyers and judges for their insight, clarity and humor.
A leading expert in Canadian Family Law, Jay is the author and/or
editor of the leading family law publications in Canada, he has
also acted as consultant to the Canadian Bar Association as well
as the provincial and federal governments on family law issues.
His works have been cited with approval by every Court in the
country including many times by the Supreme Court of Canada.
When it came to family law, Jay was the conscience of the country
by not shying away from challenging Court decisions when they
did not meet his high standards for logic and consistency. He
was a giant in the legal profession and the country is a great
deal poorer as a result of his passing. Jay almost single handedly
made the practice of family law in Ontario respectable. His contribution
to the development of family law in Canada was surpassed only
by the esteem in which he was held by his colleagues and judiciary
and the reverence of his students. In life Jay made us laugh.
In death we mourn his memory.
Friends are invited to share their memories of Jay with his family
at the Edward R. Good Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo,
on Thursday from 7-9 and
on Friday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The

James McLEOD,
Writer,Lawyer And Teacher (1947-2005)
University of Western Ontario professor who was regarded as 'the
conscience of the family law bar and judiciary in Canada' was
misunderstood as a sexist reactionary
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Tuesday, November
15, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- It's no small feat to be compared in one's lifetime
to libertarian journalist H.L. Mencken and right-wing radio host
RushLimbaugh.James▲McLEOD just sought to make the world a better
place but, on at least one occasion, was adjudged to have done
the opposite.
A prolific writer, editor, appellate lawyer and professor at
the University of Western Ontario's law school for 33 years,
Prof. McLEOD was remembered by colleagues as Canada's pre-eminent
barrister and scholar of family law. Those close to him recall
a frighteningly encyclopedic knowledge that could be summoned
in an instant, with clarity, accuracy and wit. His mastery of
family law was so prodigious and widely known that a judge once
openly wondered whether Prof.
McLEOD slept with a dictaphone.
Known to Friends as Jay and to family members as Gary (his middle
name,) Prof.
McLEOD's name was virtually synonymous with Canadian
family law and all its arcana. As editor-in-chief of Reports
of Family Law for 27 years, he screened tens of thousands of
cases -- virtually every written family law ruling in the country.
And as author of more than 1,000 case commentaries (known as
annotations), he helped shape and develop important legal concepts.
Those annotations were the stuff of legend; while highly regarded,
they were not always flattering.
"Much as a producer of a new Broadway play waits anxiously to
read the reviews by the critics the next morning, judges were
always apprehensive about what Prof.
McLEOD might think of their
decision and whether they would pass his rigorous standards,"
wrote long-time colleague, co-author and self-described tag-team
partner, London, Ontario, lawyer Alfred
MAMO, whose firm Prof.
McLEOD had joined for 17 years to write opinions and handle appeals.
One tribute to Prof.
McLEOD's "phenomenal" stature in family
law is the fact that his writings have been quoted with approval
by virtually every court in the land with jurisdiction in family
law, and on numerous occasions by the Supreme Court of Canada,
Mr. MAMO said. "To a large degree," he added, "Jay was the conscience
of the family law bar and judiciary in Canada," and his comments
were "the gold standard" for legal analysis in family law.
Sometimes, his parsing of a case was longer than the case itself.
Toronto family lawyer Harold
NIMAN, a long-time friend whose
daily e-mail exchange with Prof.
McLEOD would begin at 5: 30 a.m.,
recalls a court ruling this year on whether a set time a child
spends with one parent should be calculated in hours or days.
The decision was contained in half a page. Prof.
McLEOD's annotation
ran for four pages "as he analyzed in his Einstein-like way the
abstruse existential territory of time-space and relativity,
and whether sleeping and being in school qualified" as time spent
with a parent.
Prof. McLEOD was "often like a dog with a bone when it came to
a legal issue.... He was without a doubt the most energetic and
entertaining speaker I have ever heard. He could pack more into
a lecture than any person I have heard or seen. I was so exhausted
after hearing him speak that I often needed to have a nap," said
Mr. NIMAN, whose firm Prof.
McLEOD joined as counsel in 2003.
"Jay was the H.L. Mencken of family law."
He was able to reduce the most intricate and forbidding legal
case to its "barest human essentials," wrote University of Western
Ontario colleague Rande
KOSTAL in the student newspaper Nexus.
"He regarded the law as a way -- an imperfect way -- of imposing
some rational order on the unruly tragicomedy of everyday life.
And he strove, with legendary success, to be the funniest man
on the funniest subject of them all: the rituals of human love,
marriage and parenthood."
To others, he wasn't always so funny.
In the late 1980s and early '90s, Prof.
McLEOD championed the
"causal connection" theory of spousal support, which posited
that a person shouldn't be obliged to support an ex-spouse unless
the marriage "caused" or contributed to the ex's need for support.
His theory was promptly attacked as reactionary and sexist; according
to a 2000 profile in Lawyer's Weekly, he was once introduced
at a conference as "family law's answer to Rush Limbaugh." (He
was also reportedly pelted with buns at a dinner.) A band of
family law practitioners even wrote and performed a protest song,
The Ballad of Jay McLeod.
A 1992 Supreme Court of Canada decision put an end to the theory
and, although Prof.
McLEOD later said he regretted that it had
been used to hurt long-term spouses (almost always middle-aged
women), he defended it: "All the causal connection theory said
was, 'You come into marriage as individuals. You leave marriage
as individuals. And you shouldn't have a right to support from
the other person unless somehow the circumstances that cause
you to need money are somehow related to the relationship," he
said in the Lawyer's Weekly piece. "That was it."
Born to a full-time homemaker and a labourer who had served in
the wartime Canadian navy, he was the oldest of five siblings
and the first member of his family to attend university. And
he did so with a vengeance. After two years as an undergraduate
at Western Ontario, he enrolled in law school (because there
was "no market for Robin Hood," he would later quip), and placed
first in each year, going on to win the Gold Medal by a wide
margin in 1971. He earned a master's degree in law at the University
of London in 1972, the year he joined University of Western Ontario's
faculty to teach corporate and commercial subjects, and two years
before his call to the Ontario bar.
In 1978, he was invited to annotate and edit the Reports of Family
Law, and he never looked back. "Once I got going in the area
and started to write these things, all of a sudden it dawns on
you, 'My God, in three pages you can have a lot of fun saying
this stuff,' " he recalled. "It took on a life of its own. The
annotations basically built and created me."
He went on to edit other legal publications, including those
on child custody and matrimonial property. Many lawyers eagerly
awaited his pithy and popular weekly on-line newsletter, This
Week in Family Law. When he died, he was the University of Western
Ontario law school's associate dean for administration and a
respected teacher at the university's Ivey School of Business.
While taking one of Prof.
McLEOD's third-year classes, an older
student, a single mother of two, turned to her friend and wondered,
"Is he always such a jerk?"
The word became a "term of endearment," chuckles Margaret
McSORLEY,
who married her professor in 1981. Years later, the two legalists
found themselves on opposite sides of a case, he representing
the wife, she the husband. They soon negotiated an agreement.
"He talked a mile a minute and would always make you laugh,"
says Ms. McSORLEY, a family lawyer who was named a judge of the
Ontario Court of Justice in 2003. "But what a stickler."
Indeed, Prof.
McLEOD was a long-time proponent of rigour in family
law. "We are law, too, and I want it treated that way," he said.
Even the Supreme Court of Canada was criticized for laxness.
"I think this court is a discretion court and that hides a multitude
of sins," he said five years ago. "I don't like undisciplined
power or uncontrolled power. I like rules. I like some form of
clearly structured discretion."
He helped set some of those rules, winning important cases before
the Ontario Court of Appeal, including Elliot v. Elliot, which
set a precedent on compensatory support in the province.
He didn't relax much, apparently. Some golf, maybe an old movie.
Mostly, he worked. He wanted to make a mark. "I'd hate to think
that I would go through life and was nothing but average as I
did it," he told Lawyer's Weekly. "So I have got an opportunity
doing this stuff, and I try to use it."
James Gary
McLEOD was born in Guelph, Ontario, on November 29,
1947, and died in New Hamburg, Ontario, on October 4, 2005, of
a heart attack. He was 57. He leaves his mother, Pauline
McLEOD,
his wife, Margaret
McSORLEY, five children and four grandchildren.

On December 5, 2005 at Providence Health Care Centre, Scarborough.
Beloved wife of Hugh L.C.
McLEOD for 57 years. Will be mourned
by nephews Michael, Mark and Gregory and niece Joanne and their
children and sister-in-law Margaret. She was an employee of the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce head Office for over 40 years
and had many good Friends there. After a relatively healthy life
and a short illness, died of cancer in her 82nd year. She was
a vegetarian for 28 years, and a strong advocate of protection
of animals from cruelty. She was a member of many charitable
organizations whose aim is the protection of animals, children
and the environment and did what she could to make improvements
in those areas. She was always ready to lend a helping hand wherever
it was needed and thought of others before herself. She had a
great love for dogs and appreciation of all nature and wildlife
whether it be a great blue heron, a butterfly, or wild flower.
Of her many interests in animal welfare, her most recent pet
project was in helping a small group of people in British Columbia
in saving of the Hoary Marmot from extinction which appears to
have been accomplished successfully. She will be greatly missed
by many including her dog Hawthorne. Donations to cancer research
would be appreciated.

'Very loving daughter' found dead
Teen's body discovered on Whitby driveway
Police say it's homicide or 'a very serious accident'
By Jim WILKES,
StaffReporterJust how did 16-year-old Kyla
HOLBURN of Oshawa end up dead on
the driveway of a Whitby apartment building?
That's the mystery facing Durham homicide detectives after the
teen's body was found face down at the top of a ramp to a parking
lot behind the building, near King St. and Thickson Rd., on Monday
night.
The popular Grade 11 student at R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate had
suffered traumatic injuries and her shirt had been pulled up
above her shoulders, exposing her back.
Police think her body may have been dumped at the building, several
kilometres from her home on Nipigon St. in west-end Oshawa.
Chief Kevin
McALPINE said her death was the result of "either
a homicide or a very serious accident" that happened somewhere
else.
"It's highly likely that what happened to her didn't happen in
this location,"
McALPINE said.
An autopsy yesterday failed to determine an anatomical cause
of death. More tests have been ordered.
As detectives looked for answers, relatives and Friends gathered
at a townhouse complex near the girl's home.
Her mother, who called Kyla "a very loving daughter," later read
a statement that said "sometimes children make wrong decisions
and sometimes choose the wrong Friends along the way."
She said Kyla had completed a school-issued identification booklet
last September, fingerprinting herself and adding a few strands
of her long, dark hair, information that helped police identify
her.
Family members urged the public to help police find out what
happened to Kyla.
The teen was reported missing by her family about 10 p.m. Monday,
three hours after her body was spotted beside Wood Farm Manor
on Nichol Ave. in Whitby.
A resident who discovered the body about 7 p.m. alerted building
superintendent George
McLEOD, who covered it with a blanket and
called police.
Local resident Tracy
McLENNAN was so moved that she placed a
bouquet of flowers at the base of a nearby light standard, even
though she didn't know the dead teen.
"I have a teenage daughter of my own and when I heard about this
on the news it kind of shook me up," she said. "You just never
know today what can happen in a community that we all thought
was safe."
Distraught Friends of the dead girl also brought a bouquet to
the scene in the afternoon.
At R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate, grief counsellors prepared for
questions from classmates and other students.
"It's horrible," said Grade 12 student Cheryl
DECOSTE, 18. "A
lot of people are shaken up by it."

MacDONALD,
Norienne▲ (née
RANAHAN)
(February 24, 1915-September 20, 2005)
The old legs have gotten weary and I felt it was time to join
Mac. After all, it's been 3 years since he left my side after
60 years together. John and I were blessed with 3 wonderful children
and their families, Mary and Dennis
(STARKEY,) in Durham, John,
and Debra (recently deceased), in Goderich and Rick and Barbara
(BIGGAR,) in Tecumseh. I was privileged to watch my grandchildren,
Brianne, Kyle and Sean grow into young adults. We moved from
London to Saint Thomas where we lived for close to 55 years and
the majority of those years were in our home we built in Lynhurst.
My life was a fulfilling one, raising our 3 children and embarking
on a teaching career when they were older, teaching at Holy Angels
Elementary School and
at St. Joseph's High School. Being elected
as a trustee for the Eight County Roman Catholic Separate School
Board and being the only woman on the Board was quite an experience.
Three years ago, I moved to Windsor, a sudden move with litte
time for goodbyes. So it was quite a treat to return to Saint Thomas
to celebrate my 90th birthday with all my old Friends in February.
Thanks to the "pot luck" group who kept in touch and a special
thanks to my close friend, Norma
ROCHE, who sent me weekly notes
keeping me up on the news in Saint Thomas. Mom was very active
in the community over the years with a long standing involvement
in the Cancer Society (serving two terms as President of the
Elgin County Unit), the Saint Thomas Golf and Country Club both
as a golfer (serving a term as President of the Ladies Division)
and as a Bridge Club member. She was a committed volunteer for
the Rotary Music Festival for decades, and served a term as President
of the local chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. One
of Mom's favourite activities was the bike ride for cancer, which
she did into her 80's. For her commitment to the community, she
received the "Saint Thomas Citizen of the Year Award" with Dad,
an unexpected but well deserved honour. She was an amazing mother
and we will miss her terribly. Thanks to those care workers at
Sunrise Assisted Living who went beyond the call of duty and
a special thanks to the staff at Extendicare Tecumseh and Dr.
Ian McLEOD, who took such terrific care of Mom and allowed her
to keep her dignity as her health failed over the past 9 months.
The family will receive their Friends at the R.E. Allen Funeral
Chapel, 31 Elgin Street, Saint Thomas, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to
9 p.m. Friday afternoon and evening. Funeral service will be
held at Holy Angels Church, 502 Talbot Street, Saint Thomas, Saturday
morning at 10 a.m. After cremation, interment will be made in
St. Peter Cemetery, London. Donations to the Canadian Cancer
Society or the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated
by the family.

'He died as a man. He died as a friend'
The Victim, Father, role model, passionate reggae dancer, Amon
BECKLES was a centrepiece in his family
By Jessica
LEEDER and Dale Anne
FREEDStaffReporters
Amon BECKLES was a star reggae dancer with dreams of going professional,
a daddy to an 18-month-old daughter, and a Central Tech student
on the brink of adult life.
To his four younger siblings, who grew up in awe of everything
from his PlayStation and basketball prowess to his addiction
to mayonnaise "sangwiches", he was a family centrepiece.
"He was a role model in my life," one brother said.
The likeable 18-year-old's dreams were cut short Friday when
he was shot in the neck just outside the Toronto West Seventh-day
Adventist Church on Albion Rd. where he had come to mourn his
best friend, Jamal
HEMMINGS, 17, his reggae partner and a homicide
victim.
Nadia BECKLES,
Amon's mother, was in the church when she heard
gunshots. "I didn't know it was my son," she said. "I just heard
somebody say his name."
A day later, she's planning for his funeral.
"I want them to know his death will not go in vain. He died as
a man. He died as a friend."
BECKLES's family, gathered to mourn their own in the cramped
living room of his grandmother's west Toronto house last night,
spoke out on the condition none of their names be used. But not
because they're scared. "We are handling it in our own way,"
said an aunt. "I don't know what to think right now. I'm in shock."
Even in his absence,
BECKLES brought laughter to his family,
many of whom grew up dancing at his side in a group run by two
aunts called No Mercy.
"We'd dance in the gym, outside, in the back streets, everywhere,"
said one of
BECKLES's cousins. "We loved to dance. We'd do it
instead of doing nothing. We're still close as a family. Since
the death happened, we're just..." she trailed off.
The teen was with her cousin at
HEMMINGS's funeral. She said
HEMMINGS was "pretty much a part of our family" and grew up dancing
reggae with them.
"Jamal and Amon were best Friends; wherever Jamal was, you'd
find Amon. They were like brothers," said Jamal's father, Michael
HEMMINGS.
BECKLES was with
HEMMINGS the night of November 9 when
HEMMINGS
was fatally shot, said Det. Sgt. Mario
DITOMMASO.
Just over a
week later,
BECKLES himself became a homicide statistic -- number
69 for the year -- gunned down outside the church where he'd
gone to mourn his friend.
"Friends of his were trying to give him cardio-pulmonary resuscitation,"
said Const. Ewan
MacLEOD, who arrived on scene just before 1
p.m. Friday.
Minutes before Pastor Andrew
KING began the funeral service,
he said he was told "shooters are in the church."
Even though
KING knew there could be violence, he decided not
to call police on advice from members of a community housing
group who gave him the grim news, he told the Star.
"Two people from the community housing group came up and whispered
to me that shooters were in the church,"
KING said yesterday
outside a church service held at a nearby high school while forensic
identification officers finished their probe of his Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
He said he and the housing workers spoke about what to do. "They
advised me not to call the police. I was apprehensive."
But KING thought they would all be safe inside the church. "We
were terrified of the situation but we put our safety in the
Lord Jesus Christ and we were protected.
"At the end of the service I realized there were guns in the
church, more than I'd like to know. At lot of people were in
there packing (guns)."
Suddenly the church filled with "popping noises," the sound of
gunfire, the pastor recalled. "All of a sudden there was pandemonium.
We realized someone had been gunned down outside the church.
"We asked everyone to lie down quietly inside the sanctuary and
not to move. We didn't know what was going on outside," he said.
"I was looking at a casket in front of me. I realized there's
another dead person outside the front of the church."
Det. Colin
RAY said
KING should have called police. "If he knew
ahead of time there were guns in the church -- guns can only
lead to disaster -- he should have called police."
BECKLES's grandmother said police "failed my grand_son. They can't
correct that failure. He's dead.
"Anybody with any kind of sense at all would know there should
have been somebody (from the police) there. In my opinion they
did not serve and protect my grand_son."
PoliceChiefBill Blair said
BECKLES had spoken to homicide officers
about HEMMINGS's slaying, but said police had no reason to believe
the man was at any risk. "There was no indication that he was
attending that funeral service or that he was at any risk, otherwise
steps would have been taken."
Blair's spokesman Mark Pugash could not say if police will attend
BECKLES's funeral. "Assessments are made in each case on what
is necessary. Clearly one of our greatest concerns... is protecting
public safety."
BECKLES's family said yesterday they believe he died simply because
he knew what happened the night
HEMMINGS was shot.
"They've got who they wanted,"
BECKLES's grandmother said, adding
she does not know if her grand_son knew the shooter's identity.
But she did offer one guarantee: "There was absolutely no gang
activity. None."
Police confirmed yesterday that
BECKLES was a "potential material
witness" to
HEMMINGS's killing. But
DITOMMASO said he was more
than a witness: police had also been looking into
BECKLES's own
activities. He was known to police and was "the subject of an
ongoing investigation,"
DITOMMASO said, adding the teen was interviewed
once after
HEMMINGS's death.
"His information was not very accurate,"
DITOMASSO said.
"If he had been more forthcoming to police, it's entirely possible
the people responsible for the original homicide (of
HEMMINGS)
would have been arrested," said Pugash.
Although the shooting occurred in the heart of Crips gang territory
DITOMMASO said the death was not gang related.
DITOMMASO said police have narrowed witnesses' descriptions to
a single suspect. He was described as wearing a three-quarter-length
blue, hooded coat, a dark baseball cap and dark pants.

McLEOD,
June▲Mary▲
On December 5, 2005 at Providence Health Care Centre, Scarborough.
Beloved wife of Hugh L.C.
McLEOD for 57 years. Will be mourned
by nephews Michael, Mark and Gregory and niece Joanne and their
children and sister-in-law Margaret. She was an employee of the
C.I.B.C. head Office for over 40 years and had many good Friends
there. After a relatively healthy life and a short illness, died
of cancer in her 82nd year. She was a vegetarian for 28 years
and a strong advocate of protection of animals from cruelty.
She was a member of many charitable organizations whose aim is
the protection of animals, children and the enivronment and did
what she could to make improvements in those areas. She was always
ready to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed and thought
of others before herself. She had a great love for dogs and appreciation
of all nature and wildlife whether it be a great blue heron,
a butterfly, or wildlfower. Of her many interests in animal welfare,
her most recent pet project was in helping a small group of people
in British Columbia in the saving of the Hoary Marmot from extinction
which appears to have been accomplished successfully. She will
be greatly missed by many including her dog Hawthorne. Donations
to cancer research would be appreciated.

Girl's gifts still sitting under tree
Two families devastated by deadly crash
Locals describe Highway 6 as 'Killer 6'
By Dana BORCEA and Meredith
MacLEOD, Torstar News Services, Hamilton
Spectator
Hamilton -- Emily
PORTO's
Christmas presents sat under the tree.
Her broken-hearted parents don't know what to do with them.
The 10-year-old girl was one of four family members killed in
a horrific car accident late Thursday night.
Emily's mother, Laurie, said she is overcome with grief, but
grateful for the outpouring of support her family has received
in the days following the tragedy.
"This reminds me what Christmas is all about," she said.
Emily's aunt, Vivian
PORTO, was driving the van carrying her
niece as well as two of her own children, Azzadine, 10, and Francesco,
13, back from a hockey game in Guelph when she hit a snowdrift
on Highway 6 and spun out of control before being broadsided
by an oncoming sport utility vehicle.
The highway is nicknamed "Killer 6" by some local residents.
The 24-kilometre stretch of road from Highway 403 to the 401
has been the scene of at least 20 fatal accidents since the early
1990s.
Residents and police blame a lack of barriers between the north
and southbound lanes as well as the absence of snow fences to
block snowdrifts that blow in from surrounding open fields.
A high volume of traffic was also cited as a contributing factor
in the crash.
In response to Thursday night's accident, Dr. David
EDEN, the
regional coroner, said he is considering calling an inquest into
the safety of that stretch of Highway 6.
Police agree the highway can be hazardous.
"Highway 6 can be an unforgiving highway," said Sgt. Cam
WOOLLEY
of the Ontario Provincial Police highway safety division.
FlamboroughCouncillorMargaretMcCARTHY said the highway falls
under the jurisdiction of the province's ministry of transportation.
After hearing about the fatal crash, her office forwarded a request
to the ministry to erect snow fences along the highway.
McCARTHY said residents have expressed concerns about the highway
for years.
"It's a complicated piece of road," she said. "To suggest that
there is an easy fix would be negligent."
Gary MISNER, a Freelton resident who travels Highway 6 every
day, said the stretch where the
PORTOs were killed used to be
protected by a snow fence. He happened upon the accident minutes
after it happened and said the area was the only snow-covered
spot on Highway 6 that night. Strong winds had been blowing for
hours, MISNER said.
Sudden drifts on the road, combined with a looming stoplight,
make for a dangerous combination, he said.
MISNER said snow fences should be installed to prevent drifting
snow from piling up on the highway.
He also said the speed limit should be reduced to 70 km/h and
strictly enforced.
"There will be other big accidents along there,"
MISNER warned.
Emily's aunt, Lisa
ULRICH, estimated that close to 200 people
had come through the home to offer their condolences to both
families. She expects about 1,000 people to attend visitation
and funeral services early this week.
Among them will be members of Hamilton's Italian community, minor-hockey
families, and family colleagues from the textile, development
and hospital industries.
"They've been coming out in droves,"
ULRICH said on the weekend,
pointing to the line of parked cars spilling out of the driveway
and down the street.
"To have a quiet, empty house -- especially at this time of the
year -- would have made this even harder," she said.
On Saturday, family gathered at the home of Vivian's parents,
Anna and Adriano
SPALLACCI, with Father Bill
TRUSZ, a pastor
at Saint Margaret Mary Church.
"They prayed for those that died and for those who survived,"
said TRUSZ. "
They are deeply stricken and just taking it one
hour at a time."
Visitation for Vivian, Francesco, Azzadine and Emily
PORTO will
be held today and tomorrow from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Friscolanti
Funeral Chapel on 43 Barton St. E., Hamilton.
The funeral for all four will be held at 10: 30 a.m. on Wednesday
at Saint Margaret Mary Church at 20 Idlewood Ave., Hamilton.
